Ammonium uptake at plant roots is regulated at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational levels. Phosphorylation by the protein kinase CIPK23 transiently inactivates the ammonium transporters (AMT1s) but the phosphatases activating AMT1s remain unknown. Here, we have identified the PP2C phosphatase ABI1 as an activator of AMTs in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that high external ammonium concentrations elevate the stress phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) by de-glycosylation. Active ABA is sensed by ABI1-PYL complexes followed by the inactivation of ABI1 activating CIPK23. Under favourable growth conditions, ABI1 reduces AMT1 phosphorylation, both by binding and inactivating CIPK23, and by the direct dephosphorylation of AMT1s. Thus, ABI1 is a positive regulator of ammonium uptake, coupling nutrient acquisition to abiotic stress signalling. Elevated ABA reduces ammonium uptake during stress situations, such as ammonium toxicity, whereas ABI1 reactivates AMT1s under favourable growth conditions.
